Professional footballer Gareth Bale plans to open an indoor adventure golf centre in Bristol city centre despite objections by more than 100 residents.

Following representation by leading licensing barrister, Roy Light, Bristol City Council’s licensing sub-committee has now granted the application for the premises.
